Am I the only person whose bum is throbbing this morning thanks to Joe bloody Wicks?

Or are the rest of you gym honed goddess’? Seriously though, my glutes are screaming. And I have to do it again in ten minutes. It’s going to be very painful...

Joe wicks would certainly make my bum throb, sadly he's not here.

LargeGinOnTap · 24/03/2020 22:29

One leg is already injured - prevented from doing the jumping bits now my other leg has joined in on the fun Hmmdue to all of the exercise

The ddog sleeping on my legs last night might also be a contributing factor

To be honest, I do like the workouts, but the more I see him and hear his voice, the less attractive he gets! Added to that the picture of his baby in the background reminds me that hes also 'The Only Human Ever to Have Had A Child'.

I'm am so unfit. After 2 mornings with Joe 🤣 I'm aching all over, even my shoulders. But I feel good. Fingers crossed after this is over we will be a little lighter 🤗

Wheresmykey · 25/03/2020 08:25

My 11 year old is running around as fresh as a daisy, and I hobbled down the stairs like an old lady. My poor legs

Still, I am going into the breach again today in the hope we will all emerge from fitter and healthier. Also, it has to get better soon right? (Lie to me if you have to)

I have to agree about Joe’s annoyance factor though, he’s just so damn BOUNCY! It does grate after a while, He’s still doing a grand job though bless him, and if I have amazing legs and a cracking bum at the end of this lockdown, it will all have been worth it.

I thought I had the flu this morning as I was feeling so achy, no, it was just my legs responding to Joe Wicks' workout. I run three times a week and do 14 flights of stairs at work so thought I was slightly fit, but no.
I even felt like being sick at one point Blush

The biggest arse clench was this morning when he read out that the 'entire Whitehall family from Manchester' were joining in and he said 'I assume that's Jack Whitehall the comedian'!

Pippitypong · 25/03/2020 10:58

Is it bad that I was a bit disappointed that when he started his spiderman routine it didnt mess up any of his perfect shelf set up behind him? 😂😂 you can tell in a normal house that would have so much potential to go horribly wrong/injure yourself/break a vase/half the shelves fall down etc!!

noblegiraffe · 25/03/2020 11:07

He did the same routine twice today didn’t he? I got a bit confused and thought it was glitching.

Rosegoldglass · 25/03/2020 11:21

I can’t sit on the toilet without it hurting!!! Back on it today though- want to offset some of the wine calories I’m consuming Grin

LargeGinOnTap · 25/03/2020 15:30

NobelGiraffe Yep same 10 minute routine done twice

It was when he decided to jump off the walls i thought there is defo going to be a mn thread about that

stoptherideiwanttogetoff · 25/03/2020 15:31

I've found my people, I'm also feeling the burn somewhat!

BuntyCollocks · 25/03/2020 15:41

My quads are killing me

ScrambledSmegs · 25/03/2020 15:48

Noblegiraffe, I think it's a HIIT style class, in which exercises are repeated because it's more effective. Or something.

blardyfeck · 25/03/2020 15:55

Jeez I could barely walk yesterday and today wasn't much better. But I did it again this morning and actually my muscles don't feel as bad.
I'm determined to do it every day even if the kids don't.
But by Christ he's annoying

DobbyTheHouseElk · 25/03/2020 17:53

Was it glitching this morning. We couldn’t see him, but we could hear him. DH said he’s badly organised and I fiddled with the remote and there he was. I don’t know. I’m still enjoying him. He’s loving the attention that’s for sure. Seemed to go by faster today, unless I’m getting fitter.....unlikely.

CaptainMyCaptain · 25/03/2020 17:56

Me too. My thighs will be wonderful at the end of this.

HarrietThePi · 25/03/2020 17:59

I did it on Monday, skipped Tuesday because my body was dying then did half today before switching off because DD wouldn't join in and was generally being irritating. I am going to try and keep it up though. I will be fitter than I've been in years by the time this is over.

Oh I thought he was phoning it in a bit today Grin

Today didn’t seem as bad but I’m sure there were fewer star jump/mummy kick type ones than before. Maybe he’s giving us a break.

MotherOfAllNameChanges · 25/03/2020 18:05

My KNEES & THIGHS 🙈

LargeGinOnTap · 25/03/2020 19:30

My inner thigh and tummy muscle are aching

I think he's out of shot until 9am on the dot.

He loves the sound of his own voice but can't knock his enthusiasm. His geography knowledge isn't great. When he tries to pinpoint where people are on the map behind him.

I wonder if the picture on the chimney breast and the nick naks on the shelves will change??

scrivette · 25/03/2020 19:37

Inner thighs are aching today, I am going to be so much fitter if I can keep it up!

We had problems seeing him at first, but came out of it and went back into so could see.

BlueCookieMonster · 25/03/2020 19:51

I did it this morning, my legs are so achey!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 25/03/2020 20:07

DH is so keen to start he won’t let anyone touch the remote. He’s missing the gym.

Burplecutter · 25/03/2020 20:15

Joe (pr)icks needs to stop telling kids to get their parents up and joining in. I am working from home Joe, give me the half hour I've been promised so I can be in peace on my conference call, the one that I made everyone else reschedule to coincide with your boring no music work out. Stop making my kid ask me to do spider man moves. Stop referencing parents/grandparents/aunties. Leave us to our working from home or cleaning or ignoring the kids and being on our phones.
